ANI VISITS BURMA, JULY 6 – 13TH

Created: 07/05/12

On a trip organized by the United States Campaign for Burma
, Ani visited refugee camps in Burma earlier this July. Burma is the
site of one of the bloodiest battles for democracy in history, where the
military regime running the country, now known as the State Peace and
Development Council, responded to democratic protesters with brutal
force, gunning down up to 10,000 persons in cold blood. She played
impromptu concerts both in the refugee camps and for a group of former
political prisoners who had been severely tortured and forced to flee by
the ruling regime. Ani was the first American musician to visit these
camps and meet with pro democracy activists. To read the press release

compilation CD, including a track by Ani, to be released to benefit the
United States Campaign for Burma.
